Topaz water valve is what you need. I will look tonight if I kept the diffuser I don’t believe so the topaz allows more water GPM.

The diffuser on the outlet is necessary so the "low water cut off" switch doesn't turn on intermittently.

Low water cut off has been retired :)
would be nice though just for turbulance and sucking air into pump
but i dont see how you put a diffuser on a topaz jobe am i missing the big elephant standing in the room
were the water comes out its like a oblong shape or is there one with a female screwin so you can attach the diffuser.
Thanks

Put a 1' topaz on there with no diffuser cause it has a oval out put and no thread to put one on as i can see

works fine for now i was worried about cavitation from the bubbles
see what happens when its really cranking

I've been running the 1" Topaz for over two years now and have had no issues resulting from the lack of a diffuser. My low water cut off has also been unaffected.
